Mondays Suck Because Your Boss is The Worst

If you're like everyone else in the world, you probably dreaded getting out of bed and going to work this morning. (Happy freaking Monday.)

But it's probably not the slew of emails you neglected to answer before the weekend, or even the huge report you need to finish by 3 p.m. that make you want to call in sick. Nope, it may just be your micro managing, unappreciative, [insert unsavory adjective here] boss.

A Danish study, which surveyed 3,500 people and measured their levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), showed that work environment and leadership are bigger factors for causing career unhappiness than the actual work a person has to do, day in and day out.

"We may have a tendency to associate depression and stress with work pressure and workload. However, our study shows that the workload actually has no effect on workplace depression," psychologist Matias Brødsgaard Grynderup, who led the study, told ScienceNordic.com.

So, if you're feeling stuck in a career rut, don't blame the endless Excel spreadsheets you're supposed to be creating — blame the person in charge. Or, you know, maybe consider having a word with him/her about how you guys can work together better so you can stop completely hating life.
